ARCH 4100 - An Architectural Genealogy


This course addresses the history of architectural and related developments in selected Western and non-Western civilizations in order to construct a conceptual and strategic understanding of the relationships between architecture, culture, civilization, technology, and thought. In doing so, it will focus on key constructed spatial phenomena of the pre-modern world and, where relevant, elucidate the connection of these works of architecture and their motivating ideals to those of the modern and contemporary world.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 2150 The Ethos of Architecture, ARCH 2160 Architectural Media.

When Offered: Spring term annually.



Credit Hours: 3
